Yes. And it works! I went from 122 lbs when I got pregnant to 160 when I went in to be induced, and after I had him, I was still 142 for the longest time (which is pretty chunky on my 5 foot 4 small frame) this diet paired with the will power necessary to follow it and I lost lots. I kept doing the cycle until I was where I wanted to be. Right now, I'm 108!
